Not Who We Are

Terri Deno
You could hear

A train in the distance

You could see

The mountains rise above the road

But what if everyone thought

That it was a game

Just a silly game

Everyone was caught in

It wouldn't matter to you

What everyone else would do

You believe

We're not who we are

You see

What no one else can see

You believe

We're not who we are

The tricks they've played on you

Are no longer amusing

They tune out the sound

Of your accusing

All of their beliefs

And all of your wild dreams

Don't let your conscious slip away

Or they'll lock you in chains

We're not what we seem

No one trusts anyone

We're not what we seem

---

Stop fighting it

You can't deny it

Any longer

We're not who we are
